I have the new Iphone 16 and last night I charged it and turned it all the way off and since 6:30 this morning I have not been able to turn it back on. I have tried two chargers, three outlets, Ive tried the side button tricks, and nothing is working. its been almost 8 hours, how do I get it to turn back on?

I don’t know what “side button tricks” you tried or how you tried them. The "Up, Down, Side" instructions require some precision:
then
then
The operative word here is QUICKLY; and try it a couple of times, the timing is a little tricky. If done correctly this will always work unless the phone has a hardware problem.
You should not turn it off completely when charging it, just press the Side button so it goes to standby.
Fully charged overnight, yes.
Science-Curmudgeon, what patch are you talking about for this problem?
Apple never issues patches. Any update is a full firmware update, not a patch.
Try holding down the power bottom and the volume down button at the same time hold together at the same time till it turns on
If it’s a flaw with iPhone 16 why don’t the other roughly 100 million iPhone 16 users have it?
Thanks so much for that, worked perfectly!
My 8-day old 16E has this problem. It happened last night when I plugged it in and turned off. Glad I found this hack but am a bit concerned about future glitches.
I had the same issue with my new 16E
Why is my new iPhone 16 not turning on?
